What really matters is using the facets you have for the best effect. It doesn't matter if you have a full team of 6x31s if you let me set up and destroy you with a level 50 dragonite with no extra training.

However, IMO the most broken mechanic of PBB isn't that, its HIDDEN ABILITIES. Its basically a lotto to see whether you can get a 5x more viable pokemon. In the core games, you could use wifi events such as horde battles to get HA mons. However, you MUST breed for HA's.

For example:

Cinncino becomes a "steel type or die" mon with Skill link, making it spit out pseudo-125 Base power moves.

Blaziken becomes an unstoppable sweeper with Speed Boost + Life orb.

Glisgor becomes an unstoppable, constantly healing machine with poison heal.

Lastly, Most (wannabe) colo teams are weak to fairy lol.

Lemme guess, he had greninja + dragons + tyrannitar.

In this case it wasn't your items, it was that you had a fairy move.
